Well played Gaelic Meme machine

Very much looking forward to reading this. www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

@drcallumwatson.bsky.social happy birthday!

What a pointless and unnecessary piece of legislation. It’s already illegal, there is already a sanction. www.bbc.co.uk/news/scotland

Hello - detaching completely from that other place.

Dang it Academia, you got me.

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

This is food perfection #crowdie #stagoatcake

Possible judge's notes re the Douglas Cause up for auction. If you've not heard of the Douglas Cause, it's an amazing 1760s inheritance case involving potentially purchased babies, poverty, and high society drama (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas...) www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auctio...

Happy #ChristianAidBookSaleEve to all who celebrate! The book elves have been hard at work these last few weeks sorting, sifting, pricing and arranging the monumental piles of bound and printed goodies for sale, as they have most every year since it all began way back in 1973 📚🧝

It seems Ali Baba knows me better than myself

For your diary. #Edinburgh #Scotland please circulate.

Today is a day of acute cianalas.

Did you see that there are food shortages in Germany? German government is now advising people to stock up on cheese and sausages. This is called the Wurst Käse scenario.

My heart shatters like waves on the quay, Leaving Stornoway, the ferry’s low plea. Each swell a lament, each ripple a shard, Lewis’s embrace slips from my guard. Through salt-streaked glass, the grey winds moan, A fractured love borne on tides unknown.

I am come home.

What happened to Edinburgh’s old Parliament Hall ? Find out how much survives - and where the decorative stonework went. In the most recent Book of the Old Edinburgh club.

Little did I know where I played my rugby as a lad had such history.

I’m currently listening to #QueenJames on Audible. Generally enjoying it. But the pronunciation of words like Kirkcaldy as Kir-called-dee is grinding my gears

In 1637 Jenny Geddes threw a stool in St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh prompting a riot. This spread across towns & cities in Scotland & led to signing of Scotland's Second National Covenant in Greyfriars Churchyard in Edinburgh #OnThisDay 1638, with copies being sent around the country gathering…/👇

Does anyone know anyone in Scotland who studies Royal Courts?

Some may know that I work with the big Christian Aid booksale in Edinburgh. To try to keep space for more books we want to get rid of some journals. So if you would like a large bundle of Innes Reviews - please get in touch.

Connecting with my heritage by donning a blue boiler suit, picking up a hammer and nails and heading outside to fix a fence.

This is the kind of bread-and-butter work of public history which is potentially at risk. If you are concerned about the widely-reported proposed cuts to curatorial staff at English Heritage, please get in touch. ✉️ 👉 bsky.app/profile/will...

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

Woohoo! ITS BACK #Edinburgh

Catching up on the regular series of University Challenge and wasn't expecting a question about the Five Articles of Perth! I'd even classify that as niche.

In memoriam- HMY Iolaire 1st January 1919. We will remember them.

Once again: when it comes to legal reasoning, AI is bad and neither students nor instructors should use it. The whole point of law school is not to get the right answer (often, there isn't one) but how to look/find/construct one - and if you use an AI, you simply don't learn these skills at all.

I was at hospital for a minor surgery today. Chatting to the nursing staff they told me 290 appointments last month had “did not attend”. If you want a free nhs you must use it, not treat it disrespectfully. #nhs #surgery #hospital

I have no interest in drugs nor their legalisation. If that’s your gig please don’t follow me.

Happy Independence Day @husajaakko.bsky.social 🇫🇮

Happy birthday @drcallumwatson.bsky.social

So men, after roughly the age of 43, have a genetic need to switch off unused lights in the house.

I just read that Sorley MacLean’s works have been removed from the SQA Higher curriculum, which saddens me deeply. Studying MacLean provided some exposure to the stories of Raasay, and he was a potent voice in Gaelic poetry. www.scotsman.com/education/ni...
